June 26, 2010 Silver City to Albuquerque










Today was a travel day, but we still managed to find something new and different. We headed out of Silver City headed for northbound I-25 but to get there we first had to go 54 miles SE and then another 50 miles NE.
After what seemed like backtracking for an hour or so we finally arrived in Hatch, NM on I-25. Hatch boasts that it is the Chili Pepper Capital of the World and if they say so it must be true. Cousin John told me that there is a quirky little hamburger stand called Sparky's in Hatch. Sparky's speciality is the world famous green chili cheeseburger. While it was only 10:30 AM we couldn't forgo the opportunity to taste one of these treats. Betsy really liked hers. I liked mine until the green chili's kicked in. Whew!! We had to eat outside because of Tipper but the waitress came out and ask if she could bring him a treat. We said sure, and thought she would return with a doggie biscuit. Well, she returned with a bowl of pulled pork and she sat down and fed Tippy!! Now that's service.
The trip up I-25 was uneventful and we arrived at Enchanted Trails RV Park just in time for a rain squall.
Enchanted Trails is a "vintage friendly" RV park. They even have four vintage trailers that you can rent for the night. Cool.
